Porsche vehicles have a software brake pad alert system that warns you when the pads are getting too thin. And it works. Sorta. The system displays a yellow alert warning message when the pads are worn out, but will never display a CODE RED when the pads are dangerously thin. The recall affects over 14,000 vehicles and will begin in April 2019.
